Long lead times are critical to getting media exposure, app reviews, and for establishing a support network for your app. This phase should begin 4 to 6 months before your launch date.

This session introduces the pre-launch phase of your mobile app marketing strategy, demonstrating how important long-lead times are for successful app marketing, and outlining the steps of this critical phase.

An appealing app icon entices app store visitors to click through to learn more about your app. It is imperative that you create a brilliant app icon, and that you do so at this stage for branding purposes. This session discusses best practices for creating stellar app icons and features app icon examples.

At this stage, you want to prepare edited and optimized app descriptions, screen shots, and video you can use in your early marketing material. You will finalize these assets in a later phase. This session discusses creating optimized descriptions and other app assets.

You are now ready to create your media kit! It is critical, however, that all of your media materials are properly edited. This session introduces the media kit and what should be included in it. This session also includes a discussion about the importance of editing your marketing materials and some good resources to help with that task.

The advance cover sheet is a "snap shot" of your app, and is the first thing the media and potential reviewers see when they pop open your media kit. This session walks you through how to create an advance app cover sheet that will get results without overwhelming the reader.

A well-prepared and edited press release goes a long way in impressing media sources. But it is important that you follow certain standards when creating your press release. This session demonstrates how to prepare a press release that is up to industry standards, yet tailored specifically for mobile apps.

The last page of your media kit is an "About the Author, Developer, or Publisher" page. This page is reserved for the author bio in a book's media kit, but you may want to include a portfolio or other design or development achievements. This session discusses options for this page.

Preparing a website for your app is critical at this stage, since it can serve as a place to send the media and reviewers. You can also use the website to gather followers and recruit beta testers. This session shows you what to include on your app website, and features some example sites.

With your media kit and website in place, you are now fully prepared to reach out to the media, reviewers, and bloggers about your app. This session shows you how to draft a query letter that will get you results when pitching your app to this demographic.

This session offers tips and strategies for successfully pitching your app to the media, bloggers, and reviewers. You can lose out on many opportunities if you approach this demographic in the wrong way. This session also discusses ways to find media sources for your app.

Building a strong support network is important to the success of your app. Your development team, beta testers, friends, and family should all be recruited to help create buzz for your app. This session discusses ways you can build your network and keep them informed and invested in the process.

A well-prepared press release can get your app a lot of attention if you use the right service. This session walks you through how to publish your first press release using PRWeb, and shows you how to find additional press release submission sites.

Finalize your app descriptions now for use in the app stores, app directories, and everywhere else you talk about your app. This session walks you through creating optimized app descriptions that you will rely on throughout your entire marketing campaign.

A promo video can help sell your app more than anything else, especially outside of the app stores. This session shows you some best practices for producing your video, and features a few existing videos with commentary.

You have spent the first part of your marketing plan already preparing for this step. Your descriptions and screen shots are optimized; and your app icon and title are perfect. This session discusses choosing the right categories for your app and other miscellaneous things to consider.

You are getting close now! This session covers the remaining tasks you should complete 30 days prior to your launch date. These include updating your media kit with additional information, updating your website, and improving your social media efforts.

You want to be fully prepared when your launch day comes. This session outlines the things you should have ready ahead of time like getting your launch press release ready to publish, preparing an updated query letter, getting support and feedback functions on your website, and more.

Clearly, "buy now" and "app store" buttons mean nothing if you are creating a web app and not offering for sale or download in the app stores. This session discusses tasks specific to your web app that should be complete at this stage, such as making it easy for your app users to save your app as a shortcut.

If you have a web app to promote, you should provide instructions on how folks can save your app as a shortcut to their mobile device home screen. Here is a video you can use on your website to that end.

In the first week of your app release, you want to pull out all the punches! This session walks you through creating a "burst" campaign that will help drive your app up in the ranks of the app stores and get it maximum visibility everywhere.

The key at this time is not to get discouraged and not to lose momentum. This session introduces this final - yet ongoing - phase of your marketing plan. Continuing buzz and reaching out is also discussed.

At this stage, you are ready to implement additional tactics that require a bit more time. This session discusses methods to increase your reach by guest blogging and participating on sites like Quora.

Maintaining lasting success for your app means that you continue to market for the life of the app. This session outlines an ongoing marketing strategy that will keep the momentum going for your app long after its initial launch.

Throughout the class we have applied app marketing to more time-honored approaches to marketing. In this session, we take a look at a specific example of how you might look to marketing experts' advice and apply it to marketing your own app.

Launching mobile ad campaigns can improve your chances of exposure, especially during your burst campaigns. But be careful not to get sucked into depleting too many resources on them. This session looks at advertising options as well as using QR codes and other marketing tactics for your app.

Using analytics and tracking tools can help you get insight into which of your marketing efforts are working and which or not. This session highlights some tools and strategies to track your marketing efforts.

You want to use either a mobile-ready website, or a mobile-optimized landing page as the end destination for all your mobile ad campaigns. Here is a video that talks about mobile landing pages in more detail.

Here is a press release template you can use for both your pre-launch press release as well as for your official launch press release. Use the press release for the mobile book in this section as a guide, and be certain to watch the lectures and check out the resources about writing press releases.

Here is the full (ADVANCE or Post-Launch) media kit for my latest book that is used as an example throughout the course. Use this along with the templates provided as a guide for your pre-launch media kit.
